OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO USE:
Unfold the panel and align to the sun. Ensure that no part of the panel is in
the shade. Connect the output cable (APP®/DC) to the charging port of the
portable battery and begin charging. If using a Blackfire FSP60W series
portable battery with only an 8mm round port charging input, use the supplied
APP® to 8mm adapter (P/N P000205) to connect the panel and begin charging.
USB Charging
The solar panel has the capability to supply regulated 5V output through the
USB-A port. Connect your device that charges via USB-A (5V) to the USB-A Port.
Solar Panel Placement
Place the solar panel flat on the ground, or utilizing the kickstand(s) on the
reverse side, raise the panel to point toward the sun for improved solar
charging capability.
The power output module has three power output indicators ⑧ that may be used to help position the panel to deliver optimal power. The panels are in an optimal position when the three indicators are illuminated. It is only possible to illuminate all three indicators when the device is connected to a load capable of drawing more than 25W of continuous power.
NOTE – Regardless of panel positioning, if a load draws less than 10W
(including no load), only one indicator will illuminate. If a load draws from
11W-25W of continuous power, only two indicators will illuminate.
CHAINING
Connecting an additional P/N FSP60W 60W panel is allowable using the input
port (APP®) connector. The input connector is unregulated, allowing a direct
pass-through of power from the additional solar panel to the output port.
NOTE – When connecting additional panels, please consider the limitations of the device charging via the APP®connector.
